Abstract

Laser tuning rates by varying the composition of the laser material are predicted using a quantum mechanical model and compare favorably with experimental results for garnets. The quantum mechanical model uses crystal field components that are calculated using a novel method based on Pauling's theory of electronegativity. The theoretical results for the garnets are extended to a fluoride material, Nd: YLF, and found to accurately describe the energy levels.
